...(Bear in mind Kat is recovering in hospital at the moment and may not be able to process orders as normal).

This discussion reminded me to clear this from my "plan to purchase" list. The purchase today was automatic with instant download. I believe the occasional group buy-ins are the only things that actually require human or feline intervention.

No problem ping me if you get stuck in some areas of your plane and i'll try to help but you definitely should get detailed understanding on how splines and spline patching work in LWM from tutorial so it's just a matter of rewiring your brain for different subject but procedure is always same .

And now on part one, I discover that all these years when I have been keeping excel open beside Modeller while entering info in imperial units, I could have just typed in an inch symbol, and it would have converted for me...

I mean, I make heavy use of the ability to enter a calculation into a numeric field, and really miss it in other software, so feeling distinctly dumb right now.

Heheh yeah LW calculates all units in it's fields, that's one of greatest little features, no need for calculators you can even mix units and type in 1m+2"+3ft and it'll work .

For the DTools Edge Slide, sadly Developer is long gone form LW land but plugin was free and he made new version (64b also) called DUnislide.
Just drop me an e-mail and i'll send it to you (it was/is free plugin)

So you find tutorial informative so far even for ordinary LW tricks not just Car modeling ?

I've barely got started, not really had the chance to focus on it as much as I would like.

But yes, so far it's great in showing me better ways of modelling - like I said I;m really stuck in a rut with tools I use. I mean, I do rockets like you do cars, so a lot of it is just cylinder, bevel the end in, bevel the end up... Then add details.

Thing is, the US rockets are all dimensioned in &%$!ing inches! I must have spent weeks in total doing those conversions...

My dad was a mechanical engineer. Held several patents, etc. Talking to him one day & he says "You're not gonna believe this. There's a European metric, and a Japanese metric." Something to do with thread pitch or whatever.
